<h2>Q&amp;A's - Especially for Waiting Parents</h2>
<p><b>By Bonnie Wong</b></p>
<p>Question: I see there are a number of situations in which files in theory can 
  be expired. Can you comment?</p>
<p>Answer: From CCAA's prospective, once a file has been registered by CCAA and 
  the police checks and medical reports on the applicant(s) are dated within a 
  year prior to the registration date, and no major changes happened to the pplicant(s) 
  while the file is being processed by CCAA, the file will be theoritically valid 
  until CCAA issues the travel approval (refered to Notice of Coming) to the applicant 
  (s). A file is required to be updated by CCAA under (but not limited to) the 
  following situations:</p>
<ul>
  <li> the file has never been registered by CCAA for many months due to whatever 
    reason</li>
  <li> the applicant(s) has/have requested CCAA to put their file on hold for 
    some time and decide to reactivate the file</li>
  <li> there has been major changes happened to the applicant(s), such as a new 
    child added to the family, change of marital status, deterioration of health 
    etc. </li>
</ul>
<p>Please note BC regulations may have different requirements for a file to be 
  updated. For further clarification/details on the above, please contact: </p>
